Just thought I'd remind people about one of the best deals going, and a really fun day for a great cause.

Sat, Dec 8th

ECR Toy Run for Cars

We will be having our annual toy run again this year. Cost is $50 per driver, a new unwrapped toy, and 2 non perishable foods. We will be donating all proceeds to the Wise Hope Shelter, and other needy families in the Wise Co. area.We had over 200 families last year to help and it has grown this year.So we need all the help we can get!!! We will run from 9am until 5pm. We will run 3 groups beginner, Intermediate,& Advanced. So come on out an join us! More Info Maggie is busy with other events right now, so hold-off on calling for registration until late-November. Email her with questions, if needed. I'll update this post when a registration deadline is announced. Contact: Maggie Williams Organization: Eagles Canyon Raceway Link: www.eaglescanyon.com e-Mail: [email protected] Phone: 817-992-9774

Good point. I will update the thread when she lets us know that she's ready to open registration. They typically have room for everyone who is interested.

You must have some track experience. There are no instructors.

[driftdevil]

I might actually get to make this one.

[jrj512]

Leilane and I plan to go.

[CosmosMpower]

I'm registered. There will be no in car instructors but there will be instructors doing lead/follow for beginners.

+1 on novices. You won't be instructed, but the Green run group is very tame and designed to give people a level of comfort while they learn the line. If you autox, you can probably handle the Toy Run.

I got signed up earlier this week along with another buddy. Ho ho ho!!!

[VFR750]

I had planned on doing this but hurricane Sandy had other plans for me.............probably wont be back to Dallas until spring, ugh. Damn Al Gore and his global warming!!

[mach1]

how much seat time for this event?
4, 25min sessions?

[MoonieGT]

There's 3 run groups and they're running 9-5 iirc. I'd expect 4 sessions.

[mach1]

Registered, yeee haw.

Remember track heroes, this is not a regular HPDE event. It is a more like a casual track day with the goal of helping others. If you are attending with the idea of having a full on HPDE event you will be a sad panda. That said, sign up, help others, and don't be an ass-hat.

Can you help my ego by letting me pass you on the long straight?

[motorollow]

I will never forget the Cadillac CTS-V blowing by me in the long straight a couple of years ago out there. I could hear it coming long before it passed me.

I will also not forget the POS Honda Del Sol that spun out right in front of me in the last big turn. I thought I was going to t-bone him!

Can you elaborate on this a bit?

[Nails]

I think Ken means we're out there to have fun and not expect to set any records. There are no instructors so beginner's need to be extra careful not to overwork their brakes. ECR is not a track you want to go off. Intermediates will probably be too crowded for clean runs so just work on your weak spots. Just have fun out there.

Oh, and if you're an autocrosser and expect ECR to be a cinch, you may wanna enter Pike's Peak next year too.
